Question Sporadic rattle from the rear end of the car

What could it be? It just randomly happens then goes away for a bit.

check the heatshield, then the spare the jack and the turn bar for the jack, then the mufler touching anything like the hanging heatshield then check the hatch bolts on the ceiling. sometimes they come loose and fall into the plastic cover ad rattle around mine did a long time ago. hope you find it!
